Kingdom of Isles

The Great Green

Some say that when the Gods created the world, all was covered by the great green and while this is doubtful, it is true that the great green existed in pre-history. Its borders have changed over the centuries but it has always been a vast, untrackable wilderness of evergreens spread over deep chasims and rugged peaks with some trees so old and tall as to reach the Forge of Creation itself and block out the sun. In pre-magiclysm times it represented the homeland of the Northern Elven Kingdoms and many cities were destroyed within its ancient grasp.
Today, although some Elves have been discovered to still live in the ancient forest, it is said that huge cities still exist, undiscovered and empty. Others say that unknown races of beings exist in its borders waiting for their time to rule the world and still others say in hushed whispers that those who enter its borders are forever changed.
